Thanks! I changed the settings on my volumes and added ActionOnPurge=Truncate and PurgeOldestVolume=yes as well, and if I set a volume to Full and run a job it's clearing the volume automatically.

You might also want to look at recycle. Ensure yours pools are set to recycle, 
then the volumes will get reused. There is an example in the manual to set up a 
system on disks that create three pools, for incremental, diff and full and 
recycles the volumes as necessary. If you modify the example it should easily 
do what you require automatically

My problem is that even though the jobs are being removed, the data from
the jobs is not and the volumes fill up and once they are full, they are
unusable until I go in and manually purge the volume. Is there a way to
make what I am doing work, or should I be setting it up differently?
Also, you probably need to set up a task to either truncate the volumes when 
pruned, or delete them and let new ones be created.  I take the latter option, 
but there's more than one way to do it.
